Levy557yI am looking for a 'non mechanical'-Keyboard with customizable RGB leds. Do you know one?
Btw: looks great :D -
Levy557yI don't quite get why mechanical keyboards are that awesome. In my opinion, the disadvantages of mechanical keyboards outweighs advantages.
My 'perfect' keyboard should...
- be silent
- have a number pad
- have not too flat and not too high keys
- have customizable LEDs
- have makro keys -
watzon46247y@Levy other than the silent part you just described my keyboard. I love the clackyness though
-
@Levy
> be silent
There are a number of quiet switches just for this reason. They're quite nice. There are also sound dampening O-rings as well.
> not too high, not too low
Subjective, but there are different key cap profiles for people that like tall or short keys.
> LEDs
RGB LEDs completely customizable are pretty common :)
> Macros
I have a keyboard that has 3 programmable layers for tons of macro fun. Programmable layers are decently common in the mech key community :)
If you have other questions, I'm happy to answer!
If you want links of what I'm talking about I can supply those too -
Levy557y@dev0urer the clackyness might sound good but I don't want anyone to hear it for hours when talking in Discord... So... Nope :/
But (as far as I can tell from the pic) your keyboard looks great ... So maybe I just need to change the O-Rings like @tylerleonhardt said... -
@Levy Just go for red switches, they're linear instead of clicky which makes them pretty quiet. Esp with o-rings.

0x3B857yI recommend the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2.0
The RGB's are bright and there is even a mat for the palm of your hand. -
@Levy Corsair k55 non mechanical keys so way quieter custom RGB LED and six macro keys on the left. And very good price not ridiculous like razors

Mrs403307yLooks cool, you might wanna try changing Esc to Caps Lock key and you are done.
As of keyboard, haven't really liked Cherry switches. Personally in <3 with Topre. -
watzon46247y@Mrs403 yeah it would be nice if I could find a replacement keycap for the caps lock button. I’d love to replace it with escape

Just set up a Vim profile on my keyboard. Is it going to help me any? Probably not. But it does look cool!
